The Messier Catalog -- Mirrors

THE MESSIER CATALOG

Mirrors and different language versions

The Messier Catalog online database of SEDS has now mirror sites around the world. Please select your nearest mirror for fastest access. Moreover, the Messier Catalog is being translated to different languages (the original Messier pages are written in US English [well, as far as I was successful as native German]). If you would like (and have the resources) to create a mirror, or translation to a certain language, please contact Hartmut Frommert.

The original SEDS Messier Catalog online database has its home on the machine of SEDS (http://www.seds.org/), the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space at the University of Arizona:
